On Niko's blog removal ( come on the Hibbes!) - i am sure he was told to. It was such drivel it wold surely have come back to bite him when he gets that seat to fight. Indeed i suspect it was his imminent nomination that sparked this.

His final post ( of which some evidence stil exist on other people blogs") starts with "SNP supprter Sir Fred Goodwin..." I knew Fred as a student and he was true blue tory, Maggie was his heroine, Tebbit his idol. And comitted NO voter inthe 1979 referendum - worse a Union flag on his lapel throughout it. I aint spoken to him in close to 20 years, but if he is now an SNP supprter id eat my own blog.

I think Niko just lost the plot - even by labour blooger standards a provable clown. I guess Ian Gray shut him down - and i dont blame him! He have Peter Sutcliffe an SNP supporter before long

Future tip to nats out there? - get nat central office to regularly copy onto disc all these young labour blogger wannabes - they are outriders, say what their bosses are thinking but can say out loud. but near all future labour candidates, MSPs etc Why they do it. But they will all want to delete the mince they post as soon as their career prospects pick up.

That's my political take . A simpler explaination- Niko might just have OD'd on LSD

LOL " i am sure he was told to. It was such drivel it wold surely have come back to bite him when he gets that seat to fight. Indeed i suspect it was his imminent nomination that sparked this."

"I think Niko just lost the plot - even by labour blooger standards a provable clown. I guess Ian Gray shut him down - and i dont blame him! He have Peter Sutcliffe an SNP supporter before long".................

God i hope Niko doesn't read this lol, that will really tip him over the edge.

As the only unionist left I am really missing my chum Nikos - not as a friend or anything like that. More like a randy little terrier who tries to hump your leg who you can kick on the qt when the dog's owner leaves the room.

Come back, Nikos, we could do with a laugh.

Blimey, it's just dawned on me that all may not be well with Mrs Nikos - I certainly hope not.
